Ms Paula is an experienced workshop facilitator with over 15 years of delivering professional development training to multidisciplinary teams. As an Expressive Therapist, Counsellor, Clinical Supervisor, and Trainer, she specializes in expressive therapies, sand play therapy, and symbol work. Over the past two decades, she has supported children, adolescents, and adults in both educational settings and private practice through person-centred, emotion-focused, and somatic-based approaches. 
 
Her training encompasses both top-down and bottom-up therapeutic methods, grounded in strengths-based and Rogerian client-centred principles that respect each client's individuality and context. She is  committed to creating safe and supportive learning environments where participants can deepen their skills, reflect on their practice, and integrate creative, trauma-informed methods into their work. 
 
Her facilitation style combines professional expertise with warmth and accessibility, equipping practitioners to apply expressive therapy tools effectively and ethically in their client work.
